Double bed + mattress

bitsandpieces

Full marks for (extremely) quick delivery of the slats. Looks like they were made by someone with my level of woodworking skills, though they're about 2mm thinner than the advertised 19mm.

Not sure if it will be an issue of some of the slats on the frame are about 2mm thicker than others? Still irritating, though - I like things to be as described :mad: Looks like I should have followed Tim's advice and just got something at b&q in the first place...

Right - that's useful to know. Anyway, if something that price lasts a few years without springs etc poking out, I'd be happy...

Is a divan likely to be a better bet than a slatted bed?

For an open coil spring mattress it doesn't make much difference, although divan bases are kinder to mattresses.
